Maybe spring is coming. Today it seemed like it was coming since the sun was out. But a few days ago it was snow/hailing. So, I am not holding my breath quite yet. At least it is not raining all the time.

The buds are forming and the little shoots are emerging. I just love spring. I never even thought I could love it more but having kids locked up all winter and having a baby that does (well, did) not tolerate the cold and wind all that well, I think I love it more!

My little man is getting so big! He no longer fits into his going home outfit snuggly thing. It is just too short on him.

Up until a day ago, any time we went out with Corbin, he would tense up and start bubbling at the mouth. I have come to realize that it was the wind that was causing such a reaction. Or maybe he is just getting older and outgrowing it. Any way it is cut, he is doing so much better outside.

This is Corbin's first go on the swing. He was pretty unimpressed with it. Izzy on the other hand is going crazy with the superman swing. Friends of ours taught her this move and she just loves it.

With Corbin's three month birthday approaching, I was brainstorming ideas on this month. Well, I took a bunch of photos of my guy on the driveway and decided they were not giving me the SPLASH I was looking for. Corbin must have been reading my mind! LOL

With the warmer weather, comes the arrival of the mower. Hours upon hours will be spend (not by me) cutting the grass this summer. It is such a huge amount of grass. Scott just loves giving the kids rides on the non-cutting mower. Last year Devon wanted nothing to do with the mower. Well, he just wanted to run behind it. I guess that has not changed. But this year, he was happily sitting on dad's lap and riding around.

It was Izzy this year that just was not a happy little lady on the machine.

They both were happy to watch from behind the fence at the mower moving in circles cutting the thick green grass.

Corbin is doing so well. He is sleeping great and smiling all the time. Both of the older kids are interacting with him a bit more. Constantly wanting to say hi to him during meal times. But, that might just be to get out of their seat? Izzy is cracking us up lately. Her current cuteness is being afraid of monsters. Monster that are cats. Whenever Pixel walks into the room, she gets really quiet and then will say "monster...scared" all the while holding up her hands close to her chest. Devon has a new cousin he found in the basement. Our old blue couch. Devon named him Alvin. Alvin and Devon like to jump, do puzzles and sleep together. He loves his cousin!
